Vice President Kamala Harris dropped an eye-opening revelation about her decision-making.
The Democratic presidential nominee told “All The Smoke” hosts Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson that she was essentially sleep-deprived when she made her decision to choose Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.
Never mind the repercussions of admitting your VP pick was a “gut” decision after a night of insomnia, Harris’s remarks left many wondering if she would make similar weighty judgments on little sleep as commander-in-chief.
“From the time that the president called me and told me he wasn’t running, I mean, it’s just like everything was in speedy, speedy motion, and I was not sleeping so well,” Harris said Monday.
“And that one morning I just, I mean, I had, I don’t know, a few hours’ sleep — and I, you know, I like to sleep. I just got up,” she continued. “I was like — so I just went out and got a pork roast and started marinating it.”
“And my family were all going to be in town, so they were very happy about the whole situation, but I just got up and started — everybody’s asleep, I just got up and started cooking,” she told the basketball star hosts.
Later in the interview, she explained that she handles stress by exercising every morning and “a prayer that comes in after that every day.”
“Number one rule, don’t read the comments,” Harris added.
And the vice president should certainly follow her own advice this time if she wants to avoid the stinging reactions on social media.
Buyers remorse @VP @KamalaHarris ? You do understand lack of sleep comes with the job. If your VP pick is indicative of your decisions due to lack of sleep, you are NOT qualified to be President.

imagine how many other important decisions she’ll fuck up and blame on insomnia once she’s elected.

“It wasn’t my fault, I was half asleep” that’s what she’s going with? lol

Oh, well that makes me feel better about her. Most important decision she needed to make, and she was sleep deprived. I’m sure when the phone rings at 3:00 am because of Putin, we’ll be fine.

Hard to tell if she is regretting her pick or already preparing for JD to hand Walz his ass at the debate tomorrow night..

Sounds like she is starting the Bus in preparation for the now predictable “throwing under” if Walz bombs tomorrow.
